Step-by-Step Solution

We solve each of the options and keep in mind the order of operations: calculation of the operation within parentheses, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right).

a.

50×2×60=100×60=6,000 50\times2\times60=100\times60=6,000

b.

(50+2)+(2+60+2)=52+64 (50+2)+(2+60+2)=52+64

c.

(2×3)+60+60=6+120 (2\times3)+60+60=6+120

d.

(50+2)×2×(60+2)=52×2×62 (50+2)\times2\times(60+2)=52\times2\times62

Therefore, the answer is option D.

Answer

(50+2)×2×(60+2) (50+2)\times2\times(60+2)
